Thomas A. Edison: Young Inventor (Ch 8)

THE BASEMENT LABORATORY

BIBLE:

Character Study:

We continued to read through our chapter lessons in the FIAR Bible and Character Supplement.

SOCIAL STUDIES:

Differences & Assumptions:

This was a great subject. It’s NEVER good to assume anything! We’ve had family discussions about accepting our differences and finding common ground. If God created us all the same, what a boring lot we’d be. Differences don’t need to divide us.

SCIENCE:

Warning Symbols:

After reading about warning symbols, I had him sketch a few favorites in his FIAR notebook.

Setting Up Your Own Laboratory:

The schoolroom has been Bub’s lab. Whether he’s conducting an experiment, creating a new DIY project, sanding down a 3D print, or painting a cosplay element, he’s usually sitting at the table tinkering away.

HELPFUL LINKS:

Chapter Book GRAB BAG:

I created a MEGA Grab Bag for the Thomas A. Edison: Young Inventor Mini Unit. The Grab Bag series is a collection of worksheets and/or activities that I created while studying the FIAR Chapter Book units with my children.

You can purchase your copy HERE at our TPT Store.

*NOTE: Please be aware that any printable from the Grab Bag series may have worksheets that are similar and/or the same as those available in our other printables. We try to include anything that could enhance your student(s) learning experience as you row the chapter book series.

Pinterest Board:

You can find most of the activities, ideas, and printables from this post on our Thomas A. Edison: Young Inventor Pinterest Board.

Youtube Playlist:

As with our other rows, we created Thomas A. Edison: Young Inventor playlist with read-alouds, music, science, and other clips.
